Silly Boy

Devin was goofing around with Ben this evening and this is what I found.

What a silly boy!!

Motofest

Saturday was the hottest day of the whole summer, it was 90 degrees out with heat index around 100 and very humid. I love this weather if I am going to be at the pool or the lake, but I am not too sure about at a parade. Ben, Devin and I headed to the pool for about 2 hours, which felt great. After that we headed to Winnebago for the parade with some friends.

I love how Devin is clapping in this photo. He has been waving at cars as they drive by and clapping, so to capture it was great.

I think everyone in our group had at least one if not two icees along with a Popsicle. This was Devin's first Popsicle (rootbeer flavor) and he loved it. Can you see how hot he was. All the sweat dripping down his face and the red checks!!

Breakfast on the Farm

Saturday morning Devin, my mom and I went out to Kent Mensing's farm for Breakfast on the Farm. They had activities, food, animals, and tractors. Devin had a lot of fun trying to mil a cow!!!!

He was trying really hard and once in awhile he would actually get something to come out.
Devin right now has a thing for trucks and tractors. Whenever he sees one he will repeat "Truck" over and over. And he says truck for both, we are working on tractor. But his favorite is the gator.

They had a horse, 3 sheep, a pregnant cow, and a calf. Devin would try to feed the calf.

He had such a great time out on the farm. I think he liked being able to run where ever he wanted. We will have to make a trip to Jackson to let he run wild!!!

This mornings Adventure

Yesterday, today and tomorrow daycare is closed, so Devin and I get to have 3 fun-filled days together. So, I decided the busier our schedule is the better (and hoping that will lead to good naps)!!!! This morning we started our day with a walk and the park.

He was being such a little ham. He would try to stick his head through the bars and giggle. Devin wanted to play on the littler playground, so that is where we headed. He loves the phone booth. He would press the numbers and make noises as he did it.
In this photo you can really see how goofy Devin was this morning.

After the park, we headed to Juba's for a treat and then to the Green Giant Museum. Devin looked over the Green Giant there and still is not too sure about him. After the museum we headed out to a big, yellow flower field. I got only a couple of photos and none of them are of him looking at the camera.

Before we headed for lunch, he needed to water grandma's flowers!!!

After lunch we headed to the pool and then a nap. We will see what the rest of the day brings and along with tomorrow.

Como Zoo

What a beautiful day yesterday was. we went to the Como Zoo with my brother's family. we all had a great time and only a few meltdowns. The kids loved the animals. It was so much fun watching Devin's face light up as he has the animals. we are working on their names, but to him all of the animals are "puppy."

This photo was right before his major meltdown. He wanted everything that he couldn't have. It was pass lunch time and going onto naptime. But it was short-lived and we were onto the next animal.

The three of them riding the big turtle. Devin did not want to sit on it, but Uncle Patrick made him. He kept saying "hot, hot" which yes it was hot, but that is his new word and everything is hot.

These are just a few photos from our day, there are more on my Shutterfly webpage (if you would like to see more of what we did). To get to the page there is a link on the side you just have to click on.

Devin is at such a fun age where everything is new. He is seeing things for the first time and it is really exciting to watch him explore.

When we got home last night (which we had been gone for 12 hours) Devin was so excited to see Jordan. He just wanted to carry her around everywhere he went. he just kept saying puppy, puppy over and over. It wasn't until 10:00 that he finally settled down to go to sleep. But he slept good, so that is a bonus.

Last night of the Fair

On Saturday night we made one last trip to the fair. But this time we brought along a few extras. And no I am not talking about the goat that Devin likes.

Patrick, Robin, Alexis, And Austin came over to go to the fair. They arrived a little before noon so Devin got plenty of time to play with his cousins. But after lunch playtime came to a stop and the little boys needed a NAP.
The daddy's took the kids down the big slide. When Devin reached the bottom he had a huge smile on his face and wanted to go again. He would point and use his sign language for more.

These are not the best pictures but I think he will remember the slide.

The three of them went on a few more rides and then it was time for supper. It was a nice night at the fair and I think if the boys were a little older they would have been asking to go to the demo derby. They were both looking around to see what was making all that noise and yelling yeah!!!

Day 2 at the fair

Tonight Devin went on his first fair ride. We started with the Merry-Go-Round and he loved it!!!!!! He was all smiles and wanted to go again.

We found a couple of friends that were more than happy to go on a few rides with Devin. He was never scared and sat for the ride. What a great boy he was tonight.
